How To Safeguard Against
Rape
If you are a female, chances are 1 in 10
that you will be a victim of sexual assault. The attacker makes no
distinction between age, race, appearance or any other
characteristics.
Common sense is your best defense against attack.
Because every rape is different, there's no one solution
for thwarting an attack.
If you are attacked, evaluate the
situation and look for ways to escape. Some women have avoided rape by
talking their way out of it, acting crazy or fighting back. A kick
in the groin isn't usually successful because men instinctively protect
this area, and you may lose your balance. If you decide to respond
physically, remember that your first priority is to get away. Act
quickly and derisively to throw the attacker off guard while you
escape.
After an attack: A. Go to a safe place B. Call the
police. C. Preserve evidence - don't shower or douche; blood and
semen are important evidence. And don't change your clothes or disturb
the scene of the crime. D. Get medical care.
Medical attention
is vital! Many hospitals provide free care for rape victims and offer
pregnancy prevention and venereal disease treatment. Remember, even if
you do get treatment immediately, follow-up tests for V.D. are
essential.
Never be embarrassed because of the incident. Though
difficult to talk about, it is important to tell doctors what sex
acts took place so they will know what medical attention is
needed.
Try to remember in detail your exact experience, for
police records. Give as accurate and complete description of
your assailant as possible. This is extremely important!
Your complete co-operation with local authorities may help
in preventing similar attacks on other girls and women.
